My thoughts on literacy, education, and writing has defiantly changed since I first started this course. At first I thought that literacy was basically just reading and writing but now I have learned that it is so much more. Using Gee's article as an example I learned that there is a lot more to actually developing literacy and that there are different discourses that a person goes through in their life in order to develop this sense of literacy. In terms of education I think that this class has given me many ideas that myself as a future educator can use in a classroom setting. Reading the articles about Rodriguez and Abinder have given me a sense of how to approach students that don't experience the English culture at home and how to make the classroom setting comfortable for them. I think this class has helped changed my writing habits by making me a more cautious writer. Instead of just repeating facts in a paper I have been forced to put myself into my articles and show my opinions about things and how certain things relate to me and I think this has really helped me develop myself as a writer.
